And I'll start things off with a question I couldn't find a place for or a post for.

Coherent extrapolated volition. That 2004 paper sets out what it would be and why we want it, in the broadest outlines.

Has there been any progress on making this concept any more concrete since 2004? How to work out a CEV? Or even one person's EV? I couldn't find anything.

I'm interested because it's an idea with obvious application even if the intelligence doing the calculation is human.

On the topic of CEV: the Wikipedia article only has primary sources and needs third-party ones.

No-one's added sources to the CEV article other than primary ones, so I've merged-and-redirected it to the Friendly AI article. It can of course be un-merged any time.
